The Definition of Done impacts the Sprint Review by providing a clear benchmark for what work can be considered complete and ready for review. This clarity ensures that only work meeting the DoD is inspected during the Sprint Review, maintaining transparency and avoiding any false assumptions about the state of the product.
Work that does not meet the Definition of Done is not considered Done and therefore is not included in the Increment inspected at the Sprint Review or released. This binary nature of Done versus not Done helps prevent confusion and ensures that all stakeholders have a clear understanding of the product’s current state.
